The

consists

and

battery

The

is
of
the

and
is

equipped
with
a

pick

which

electrically
detects
the

signal
in

place
of
the

circuit

of
the

distributor
The
transistor

ignition
unit

is
a
new
addition
which

generates
the

signal
required
for
the
make

and
break

of
the

primary
electric
current
for
the

ignition
coil

The
circuit
is

equipped
with
a

resistor

During
cranking
electrical

current

bypasses
the

secondary
resis

tor

thereby
connecting
the

ignition

coil

through
the

primary
resistor
This

makes

battery

possible

When
